Whoa

Great example of "This should be a much bigger story."

MSM regurgitating Trump's excuse that the GOP got shellacked because his name wasn't on the ballot is absurd. Dem candidates from socialist to former CIA agent all won in romps because of one common thread amidst big differences: making the election a referendum on authoritarianism and TFG.

Who could have predicted this other than everyone?

Sometimes Julia Garner cries or screams so violently, I get worried about her stroking out. She’s Pacino on uber-steroids.

Never forget that the ADL's history includes support for the execution of the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. These are not people who give a damn about Jews as a totality. Their long-term project is the integration of Zionism with the far right. That's all it is. Everything else is just conversation.

Just emailed this to the press office of the ADL "Hi Todd. Given the many, many examples - as we have discussed in the past - of Nazi signaling from the Trump administration, should we expect a "Trump Tracker" as well? If not, why not?

Just emailed a contact in the ADL press room to ask what their message is to the masses of NYC Jews who rejected their slander that Mamdani was antisemitic. Will let you know what they say.

What’s wild is that Trump thought withholding SNAP benefits in defiance of the courts THE DAY OF THE ELECTION was smart politics. His theory of humanity - and it’s not always wrong - is that everyone is as much of a cruel scumbag as he is. I’m glad that for one night people told him to get f***ed.

Going out like he came in: an entitled scumbag.

Say it again for the folks in the back

We've normalized a regime ready to cut funds from a city to punish a democratic vote. The cliché applies here of "if a Democrat did this......" Given that deep red states are all states dependent on fed tax dollars to survive, they'd be destroyed. So tired of this one-sided war and I'm not alone.

So true, Ezra. Abundance!

FAR more ironic - and tragic - than "Murphy Brown's daughter" (Chloe Malle) knifing @teenvogue.com in the back is that she's also the daughter of Louis Malle, director of Au Revoir Les Enfants, a great film about children being disappeared from classrooms by a fascist state. "Never forget", Chloe.

People keep saying "Murphy Brown"'s daughter knifed Teen Vogue in the back. Stop. It was Candice Bergen's daughter, Chloe Malle. They're a cosseted ruling class, Hamptons family doing cosseted ruling class, Hamptons things: more afraid of struggle from below than the fascists in the big castle

My 11-year-old subscribes to Teen Vogue and reads the newsletters almost daily. It's been a reliable source of news for her, and fodder for thoughtful dinner table discussions. Now, it will serve a new role in our house--as an opportunity to learn about boycotting companies that let us down.

Hot off the presses: it appears Krampus has endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

Damn. if I'm Norah O'Donnell I'm showering with steel wool after that craven interview. That was some shameless, shameful, shit. Next level, "I sold my soul to an amoral toadstool like Bari Weiss" selling out. Hope It's a wonderful coffee shop, Norah.

Hi Dave, @lataco.bsky.social has an update on Carlos: lataco.com/ontario-man-...

Kavanaugh stop

I just…..

“Either way, the charming sociopath has escaped the confines of fiction and, from what used to be the White House, is engaged in the ultimate “bust out”: selling off the country in parts while pouring gasoline and striking a match.”

My latest piece @thenation.com aims to update a common 2016 talking point by looking at the dire current reality: "THE BUST OUT: Trump’s Tony Soprano Presidency Is Bleeding the Country Dry" www.thenation.com/article/poli...

SNAP cuts are hitting hard and pantries are packed. If you or someone you know needs food, check this verified list of free food resources by zip code: workmoney.org/money-savers/food/food-pantries-near-me?zipcode=10118#Pinksk#Momskyky

This is ugly. But the reason this lady was protesting is even worse. ICE thugs detained two children and their father on their way to school. One child appears to have been beaten in detention, and no one seems to know where the 12-year-old girl is right now. The family had been seeking asylum.

"In less than 36 hours since we announced that we will be sending payments to disabled SNAP recipients in the South—$100 to individuals and $250 to households—we have received more than 12,400 applications, totaling $2.7 million in requests." - they have to close the form tomorrow... no way to cover

U.S. immigration leadership is reportedly being revamped in the image of a Border Patrol chief who will be in federal court TOMORROW for allegedly violating a court order by personally throwing two tear gas canisters into a crowd without provocation. More on him here youtu.be/7PER0Pcc800?...

Watching Raptors-Spurs and Wemby is the new Poochie. Every time he’s not on screen I’m saying, “Hey! Where’s Wemby?”

The chief counsel to Chuck Grassley, a racist scumbag named (tragically) Mike Davis thinks that yes, if people don't get off of their "fat ghetto asses" absolutely they should starve to death. Naked racism at the heights of power. We're a long way from the days when Trent Lott got run out of town.

Good money says that Albanian Bruce and Black Tony are already pitching spotify to pick up their new NBA podcast.

Them: Hello this is CNN. Up for talking about the NBA betting scandal? Me: Sure. My take is this all a distraction from Epstein. Also Trump - clearly demented - sees the NBA as an enemy and had the case dropped on opening night to harm the league Them: We'll talk to the team and get back to you!

Anybody who doesn't immediately understand the ethical problems with using AI to depict people doing things that they never did is unfit for society & needs some kind of retraining, forget about government. It's so obvious that due to AI someone will be killed for something they never said or did.

So..... we all know that Trump ordered Kash Patel to organize these arrests to step on the liberal NBA's opening night, right? State economic terrorism. I'm not commenting on guilt. Just that this is how our government operates now.

Sigh. As the news piles up.... just want to re-up this. This is how we forget people who deserve to be free. We - myself included - become like cats following laser pointers instead of long-term strategy focusing on correcting an injustice with a wide ripple effect. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Hindsight and all, but Becky Hammon maybe probably should have been the hire here, like we all thought was going to happen. This is a bleak sliding door. Great for the WNBA though. She's now the Pop of the W.

40 points, 15 rebounds, 3 blocks and no turnovers for Wemby. None of that is what's most impressive. How about doing it in barely 30 mins? How about making Anthony Davis look tiny and ineffectual on defense(!)? How about making Cooper Flagg an afterthought? It's Wemby's world and I'm here for it.

Mumia Abu-Jamal Speaks With the Clear Voice of a Free Man www.thenation.com/article/soci... via @edgeofsports.bsky.social

Chow Yun Fat in The Killer is no spy. He has no allegiances. And yet is somehow more James Bond in this role than all James Bonds combined. Every damn scene. He just owns it. Chow Yun Fucking Fat. So cool (to quote Heist) that when it's time to go to sleep, sheep count him. I think it's the scarf.

I remember reading Live from Death Row in high school. That Mumia Abu-Jamal is still a political prisoner 28 years later is a grave injustice among so much injustice. And yet, "Abu-Jamal remains unbroken, and damn, does it piss the bastards off." Thanks, Dave, couldn't have said it better myself.

Article on my visit last week with Mumia Abu-Jamal. There was a LOT going on: the return of his eyesight, his previous night's remarks at an event for Assata Shakur, a forthcoming march, and then drama with the guards that may have killed irony forever www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Headline forgot to mention he was shot by an ICE agent.

@edgeofsports.bsky.social Just saw you post about Martin, do I wanted to make sure you saw this.

Doug Martin - beloved former NFL player known as “Muscle Hamster” - died in police custody. 36 yrs old No details on what the police did to him. Only the police version of events right now where they say “We took him into custody after a scuffle and then he became unresponsive.” That’s all we get.

1. I am happy these stories are getting written 2. None of them are the least bit surprising, least of all this one about edgelord too squeamish to use the real word so he uses an italian american substitute instead www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

unbelievable fuckery (with alt text)

Memoir in 7 words: I keep calling Liam Coen, Lyor Cohen.

This is why people arguing “the demands” of #NK are missing the mark on where we are. This was a mass outpouring of humanity vs Trump. We can’t have “demands” if we aren’t organized yet to democratically articulate them. But you need people before you can organize them. And yesterday we showed out.
